Skeletons at the Feast: A Novel [B2061]

2008 PB in gift-worthy condition. A masterful love story set against a backdrop of epic history and unforgettable courage. In the waning months of World War II, a small group of people begin the longest journey of their lives. At the center is eighteen-year-old Anna, the daughter of Prussian aristocrats, and her first love, a twenty-year-old Scottish prisoner of war named Callum. With his boyish good looks and his dedication to her family, he has captured Anna's heart. But he is the enemy, and their love must remain a closely guarded secret. Only Manfred, a twenty-six-year-old Wehrmacht corporal, knows the truth. And Manfred, who is not what he seems to be, is reluctantly taken with Anna, just as she finds herself drawn uncomfortably to him.

As these unlikely allies work their way west, their flight will test both Anna's and Callum's love, as well as their friendship with Manfred-and will forever bind the young trio together.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Absolutely phenomenal, one of the best WW2 historical fiction reads!"; "Wonderful book! I read a lot of WW2 Fiction. I've read some wonderful books on different POV's, but this one was new. I loved the storyline. I hadn't thought much about what happened to supporters of The Reich when the war ended. The fear of the Russian Army, very intense. Great read!"; "Omgosh- I felt like I was walking with this family on their war trek westward to safety. This is the most I've learned and felt emotions about WW2 in my 63 years- I guess because the story was from a non soldier, non battle eyes. Very very good read that will stick with you."
